Re: posting my menu for Sunday, 8/22/04

Your meals look pretty good to me.

I'd cut back the peanut butter to 1/2 tablespoon. If you want to

save calories here and there, there are little things like that you

can do with the EFL recipes.

The only meal I question is the Healthy Choice, but I know there are

worse things you can eat.

I have the Fortified French Toast about every week. It's a good

one! I'm assuming you are using sugar free syrup.

1/4 cup maple syrup!!!!!?????

That is 206 calories right there and ALL carbohydrate.

Did you mean low-cal or sugar-free syrup?

I LOVE maple syrup, but I save that for occasional use on a free day.

When I am eating muscle pancakes or fortified french toast I use

only 2 tablespoons of sugar free syrup.

I use Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free Low Calorie Syrup sweetened with

Splenda and only 10 calories per 1/4 cup. It tastes the best to me

of any I have tried and is the lowest calories.

I buy it in the grocery store, but they also have a website

free. I will use your suggestion of cutting down the amount of maple

syrup. Thanks
